Business Process Redesign Update
BPR update- Juneau is implementing this week!
On April 18th, Juneau District Office (JDO) conducted their soft opening of Business Process Redesign (BPR). In the morning JDO staff were engaged with reading through and discussing the How We guide to ensure understanding, reviewed processes and procedures, and ensured an understanding of how to use the PathOs management tool. The afternoon was spent placing tasks in the assigned tracks in PathOs, caring for customers, retrieving and disposing of information from PathOs, and much more.

Business Process Redesign Update
Holly Cow, Batman! Ketchikan is rolling!
Ketchikan implemented Business Process Redesign this week and the results have been VERY IMPRESSIVE! Ketchikan completed their dry run on Monday and it generally consisted of:
1. The first hour of the day (8-9) was spent on quick tasks that allowed staff to register applications, direct their phone lines to voice mail and changed their messages to identify the phone was going to the main line, and other tasks.
2. Having 1 support staff in the lobby from 8 to noon so clients could drop off information and allowing phone calls to go directly to voicemail.
